Hi Dear All I want to use ShallowFoundationGen for modeling foundation in my frame. I think this command make nodes symmetric to the origin coordinates but not related to the coordination of main foot node. if we have more than one column for making foundation, all of the foundation nodes are around...

Many thanks dear friend

can we have this recorder for quad element or not?

Many thanks for your kindly reply but my question is that we have to put fix command of center of mass node BEFORE rigidDiaphragm command or AFTER it? 1- fix 9001 0 0 1 1 1 0 rigidDiaphragm 3 9001 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 2- rigidDiaphragm 3 9001 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 fix 9001 0 0 1 1 1 0 w...

Hi dear all
when we want to define a rigid floor in a 3D frame we have to use rigidDiaphragm command and also we have to define a node as a center of mass. my question is is it necessary to define fix command afrer rigidDiaphragm or is not important? what is the rule?
